hi experts,

i am doing project in motion control using microcontroller, i am moving
a plate linearly using a motor, and i have to move the plate according
to the length size generated by the pc every 10 secs.. so i'm an a need
of position sensing... potentiometer is one solution to get the
feedback of the position and direction. is there any other posibility
for the position and direction sensing to interact with the
microcontroller..

thanks in advance

regards Ebi 

google LVDT for stuff like this

Or encoders for longer strokes and (possibly) less precision.
